[00:14.22]I was born on a levy
[00:16.83]A little bit south of Montgomery
[00:20.37]Mama worked in the big house
[00:23.46]And daddy he worked for the County
[00:26.70]I never had no learnin'
[00:29.88]Until I turned 16
[00:32.70]When Joe Henry come up the river yonder
[00:35.58]Law made a woman out of me
[00:38.61]Lord he made a woman outta me
[00:43.62]I used to tease Joe Henry
[00:46.89]Guess it served me right
[00:49.80]Wasn't long till he left me
[00:52.77]Crying out in the night
[00:54.51]Joe Henry had his say
[00:58.11]He wouldn't set me free
[01:01.92]I fear to tell everybody
[01:04.80]That the man made a woman outta me
[01:08.19]Lord he made a woman outta me
[01:13.44]When I think back to that day
[01:16.62]So long ago
[01:19.86]I get a little feelin' on my mind
[01:26.25]Although it hurt me
[01:28.80]There's one thing I know
[01:31.68]When he left he left him a woman behind
[01:47.55]When I meet another young man
[01:50.37]Wantin' to love and run
[01:53.28]My mind goes back to Joe Henry James
[01:55.83]And a heck of a job he done
[01:59.34]Ain't no other man let me down
[02:03.12]You see I been set free
[02:06.39]Ever since way back yonder
[02:08.75]When Joe made a woman outta me
[02:12.42]Lord he made a woman outta me
[02:15.24]Lord he made a woman outta me
[02:17.07]Joe made a woman outta me
[02:21.69]Lord he made a woman outta me
[02:22.80]Joe made a woman outta me
[02:24.60]Lord he made a woman outta me
